An Air Force outnumbered ten to one by the enemy 51 00:07:17,18 --> 00:07:23,35 both in man and machine. And then there was Britain herself. The people of Britain 52 00:07:23,35 --> 00:07:29,29 . The people who were to be terrorized and forced to surrender they knew that every 53 00:07:29,30 --> 00:07:34,67 man woman and child in uniform or out would be at this time in the onslaught the 54 00:07:34,68 --> 00:07:37,46 fight come at any moment they knew they had 55 00:07:37,47 --> 00:07:44,30 a job to do and not much time to do it.

For Britain unlike Poland in the Low Countries 125 00:17:10,05 --> 00:17:14,54 didn't make the mistake of bunching its planes on the runway the planes of the 126 00:17:14,55 --> 00:17:16,87 R.A.F.

Something was going the way the Nazis had to call time out. 136 00:18:36,58 --> 00:18:42,08 One of two thousand miles from from Norway to friends of own Nazi blitz program was 137 00:18:42,09 --> 00:18:44,50 being stalled because they are A.F. 138 00:18:44,51 --> 00:18:46,12 Was still in the air leaning against in. 139 00:18:54,30 --> 00:18:59,71 The long range German guns were getting hot. From fro ing chills across the channel 140 00:19:00,58 --> 00:19:07,51 the it was. In public it flourish sure the Germans 141 00:19:07,97 --> 00:19:14,05 Mr Churchill tells his people that England will win but I tell you that victory 142 00:19:14,06 --> 00:19:17,48 will be long to Germany but are 143 00:19:17,49 --> 00:19:23,64 a but in private is then forgetting the boss of the left office and put him on the 144 00:19:23,65 --> 00:19:30,60 hot seat doing was told to do something and do it quick. So on August 145 00:19:30,61 --> 00:19:36,41 thirtieth it would all out attacks on inland or drones and industrial centers maybe 146 00:19:36,42 --> 00:19:43,15 he could knock out the operator on the assembly line. And he adopted new tactics to 147 00:19:44,00 --> 00:19:50,06 fighters. Who were bombers or maybe he just said they were bombers to send. 148 00:19:51,39 --> 00:19:51,54 In 149 00:19:51,55 --> 00:19:57,23 a way though the December will protect the fighters above at high altitude fighters 150 00:19:57,24 --> 00:20:02,47 on both sides fighters in the front and in the rear fighters weaving in and out of 151 00:20:02,48 --> 00:20:09,48 the bomber formation. But no winner of the first round was ready. 152 00:20:10,61 --> 00:20:16,22 With higher morale and sharper defense improve listening posts were set up all 153 00:20:16,23 --> 00:20:22,48 along the coast and one of the enemy's approach before he left the country. A quick 154 00:20:22,49 --> 00:20:27,37 flash from the control station to the fighter station. And pilots were on their way 155 00:20:27,38 --> 00:20:29,46 to meet the enemy while he was still over the time of. 156 00:20:34,66 --> 00:20:39,29 Day day after. Out of spite and almost all those found of the watchers on the 157 00:20:39,30 --> 00:20:44,76 cliffs four five and six miles above the battles raged over the Dover Air. 158 00:20:50,10 --> 00:20:57,06 The Dover area became known as follows con. I shall wait upon the enemy again 159 00:20:57,07 --> 00:20:59,16 and again rope through the course with the fences. 160 00:21:09,77 --> 00:21:13,78 And we can land a leader a girl. In 161 00:21:13,79 --> 00:21:20,13 a crack. In munitions factories and machine shop. 162 00:21:30,07 --> 00:21:36,96 Guns on the side of the bride.

And they are only 166 00:22:15,76 --> 00:22:22,19 a kept on fire. These two men with wings alone in the sky behind them orders 167 00:22:22,20 --> 00:22:25,81 a machine gun were shooting down more than the loose flap. 168 00:22:32,59 --> 00:22:35,71 They were smashing the whole mature planet World Conference. 169 00:22:40,11 --> 00:22:46,21 Of of. Of of. 170 00:22:52,16 --> 00:22:56,87 Place during. One understood. Which. 171 00:23:05,20 --> 00:23:06,21 I will be 172 00:23:06,22 --> 00:23:11,02 a little better because I got amazement when I started it earlier between August 173 00:23:11,03 --> 00:23:16,72 twenty fourth and September fifth thirty five major attacks were lost. Because the 174 00:23:16,73 --> 00:23:22,83 Germans five hundred sixty two planes while the British lost only two hundred 175 00:23:22,84 --> 00:23:28,39 nineteen planes and saved one hundred thirty two pilots in the region plans were 176 00:23:28,40 --> 00:23:34,97 going completely away. The Nazis were blind with read 177 00:23:35,67 --> 00:23:41,38 the German mind has never understood why free people fight on against overwhelming 178 00:23:41,42 --> 00:23:47,98 odds Hitler No knew he was appear in every weapon except the weapon of spirit so it 179 00:23:47,99 --> 00:23:52,82 will Gehring break their spirit crush the people crush the spirit of democratic 180 00:23:52,83 --> 00:23:59,15 life. And they do now would have to wait. The Nazis would avoid the 181 00:23:59,16 --> 00:24:03,67 R.A.F. And smash the great city of London into the rubble heap they had made 182 00:24:03,68 --> 00:24:09,87 a worse on rather than. The London take it. Even the people themselves didn't know 183 00:24:09,88 --> 00:24:14,80 the ends of the defenses they trusted in where London's hastily assembled adding 184 00:24:14,81 --> 00:24:19,98 aircraft the ack ack.

That the day was coming 315 00:44:45,49 --> 00:44:49,93 when they would strike back and how they would strike back. 316 00:44:54,71 --> 00:44:56,27 Christmas nineteen forty. 317 00:45:37,11 --> 00:45:43,73 Crisp's season of peace on earth goodwill toward men was the ironic quiet before 318 00:45:43,74 --> 00:45:45,82 Hector's great burst of rage against 319 00:45:45,83 --> 00:46:01,37 a people who couldn't be next.

Of enough is 332 00:47:31,00 --> 00:47:35,72 a carefully fixed tonight on which the Thames River at one of the lowest ebb tides 333 00:47:35,73 --> 00:47:36,28 on record. 334 00:47:45,52 --> 00:47:52,21 And why London ferns above them the people of the city held on to an up and from 335 00:47:52,22 --> 00:47:58,08 those up they knew this was the people's war. And they were the people. 336 00:48:04,19 --> 00:48:07,08 And the people that couldn't be panicked couldn't be beat. 337 00:48:20,33 --> 00:48:25,85 In the months to come the British were to suffer many such bombings and burning. A 338 00:48:25,86 --> 00:48:31,89 nation that calls on cold courage when our courage runs billion may die but it 339 00:48:31,94 --> 00:48:33,06 can't be deceived. 340 00:49:05,59 --> 00:49:12,42 The from. The Battle of Britain was won but 341 00:49:12,46 --> 00:49:19,46 not by Hitler wrap. It up or had lost the 342 00:49:19,47 --> 00:49:24,49 battle it lost two thousand three hundred seventy five German planes and their 343 00:49:24,50 --> 00:49:30,91 crews.

But Hitler couldn't stop and in our 350 00:50:04,23 --> 00:50:10,35 next film we will show how he had to turn to the east again. Why did the Nazis Lose 351 00:50:10,36 --> 00:50:17,04 the Battle of Britain first because the regimented people met an equally determined 352 00:50:17,16 --> 00:50:23,80 free people and the free people made them quit cold.
